Opening ports for games on my work server Closed

Question

Hello, 

First of all, I do work hard I just have alot of downtime at work. 

I am simply trying to work out if at all possible to open ports to play online poker/ chess, or even Call of Duty 4 from my work connection. Our server runs through our clients 3rd party LAN, I have access to my companies server configuration and I have been able to access online poker from a wireless router setup at another area of the business site (that does not run through our server but the clients). So I figure these ports must be blocked on our server as they can be accessed elsewhere. 

We are running Windows Server 2003 R2 Std Edition on a HP Storage Works Ultrium 1840/ 960/ 466.

I have been searching for answers but have not got anywhere yet.

Cheers
Leezy

well of course you can do it. But you shouldn't for a few reasons, the biggest being you will basically be opening a back door to your companies network just to play a few games. the obvious concern with this is that someone could hack and crash your companies network and guess who they will blame, you!!! thats why they have a network admin and you probably need admin access to open ports
